Lanier 25 M Farmer 176 NC Leah ----- 29 F NC Darius ----- 1/12 M NC The Edmund Lanier family was greatly effected by the American Civil War which started on 12 Apr 1861 when the Confederacy fired on Fort Sumter, SC. Even though the Edmund Lanier family had no slaves, the time eventually came when five of Edmund and Susannah's sons joined the Confederacy. Burton was the only one of the Lanier children who was too young to enlist. 18-year-old Jacob Lanier and his older brother, 29-year-old Joseph S. Lanier, enlisted 20 Aug 1862 at Camp Hill, as part of Company C, Regiment 18, North Carolina Infantry. 25-year-old Elkana Lanier caught up with the regiment at Camp Hill and enlisted 20 Aug 1862. 20-year-old David Anderson Lanier enlisted on 14 Oct 1862 in McDowell County as part of Company E, Regiment 58, North Carolina Infantry. 24-year-old William Benjamin Lanier also enlisted in 1862. Unfortunately for Edmund and Susannah Lanier, only one of their five sons came home from the war. Joseph died in the Confederate Hospital (Chimborazo) in Richmond, Virginia, on 09 Feb 1863 from scrofula - a form of tuberculosis.. On 25 Aug 1863 (53 days after Gettysburg) Elkana (then 30) and Jacob (then 19), were arrested for desertion - as a result of being away from camp in a nearby field scrounging for food. At that time all the Rebel forces were half-starved. They were executed on 26 Sept 1863 on Blue Run - five miles west of Orange, Virginia. William died from wounds as part of Company H, 61st Infantry Regiment NC on 19 May 1864 at Richmont, VA, hospital. David Anderson Lanier was wounded on 19 Sep 1863 at Chickamauga, Tennessee -- the very day Jacob and Elkanah were court-martialed at Orange, Va. He recovered from his wounds and returned to his regiment and was wounded again in the Battle of Atlanta. Pvt. Lanier was discharged but stayed on with the medical corps. He continued to care for the injured for two months after the war was over because they were unable to travel. He finally arrived in Hickory, N.C. on 20 Jun 1865 Burton married Emaline Elizabeth Huffman on 07 Dec 1869. He was twenty-two years old. She was thirty-six and a widow with two children. She had previously been married to Daniel Benjamin Eckard. Emaline was born 13 Aug 1833 - the daughter of Olegah and Leah Huffman of Catawba, NC. The 1880 Catawba County, NC, Census shows Burton and Emaline living in Hickory with their son, Leander (age 9), as well as two of Emaline's children, Elijah Wesley Eckard (age 20) and George Daniel Hartwell Eckard (age 16). 1880 Catawba County, NC, Census
